Cetaphil Advanced Defence AM Face Serum 1oz — Antioxidant Daily Hydration & Pore‑Refining for Sensitive Skin

Cetaphil Advanced Defence AM Face Serum is a lightweight, dermatologist‑recommended morning serum that helps protect sensitive skin from everyday environmental stress while delivering hydration and improved radiance.

This fragrance‑free, hypoallergenic formula is made for sensitive skin and combines an antioxidant complex with targeted hydrators and barrier‑supporting actives. In a single 1 oz pump bottle you get Gallic‑AOX (Gallic Acid plus Vitamin E) to help shield skin from oxidative stress, Triple Hyaluronic Acid to replenish multiple layers of moisture, and Niacinamide to refine the look of pores and boost surface radiance. The non‑comedogenic texture layers easily under sunscreen and makeup for a morning routine that emphasizes protection and smoothness without irritation.

How does this serum help protect skin during busy daytime hours?

The serum focuses on neutralizing environmental oxidants and supporting the skin’s natural defenses. Gallic‑AOX provides antioxidant support while Vitamin E helps stabilize and enhance that defense. Daily use in the AM helps minimize the visible effects of day‑to‑day stressors and helps skin appear more resilient.

• Gallic‑AOX: antioxidant complex of Gallic Acid + Vitamin E
• Lightweight, fast‑absorbing texture that layers under SPF
• Formulated specifically for daily AM use to support daytime protection

Will this hydrate skin without feeling heavy or clogging pores?

Yes — Triple Hyaluronic Acid targets hydration at different skin depths to smooth and plump without greasy residue. The serum is non‑comedogenic, so it’s designed not to block pores while improving surface texture. The result is visible smoothness and increased comfort for sensitive skin types.

• Triple Hyaluronic Acid for multi‑level hydration
• Non‑comedogenic formula that won’t feel heavy
• Fast absorption leaves skin prepped for moisturizer or sunscreen

How does Niacinamide help my skin look better?

Niacinamide is included to help refine the appearance of pores and boost overall radiance. It works alongside hydrating ingredients to smooth texture and enhance the look of skin tone without harsh exfoliation. This makes it suitable for sensitive skin that needs visible improvement with gentle actives.

• Helps minimize the visible appearance of pores
• Supports brighter, more even‑looking skin tone
• Gentle concentration appropriate for sensitive skin

How should I use this serum in my daily routine?

Apply the serum each morning after cleansing and before sunscreen and makeup. A small pump is enough to cover face and neck; pat gently until absorbed. For a full AM/PM approach, pair this with Cetaphil Repair & Renew Serum at night to support overall skin quality over time.

• Use daily in the AM after cleansing and toning
• Follow with sunscreen for daytime protection
• Complement with Repair & Renew Serum at night for a two‑step regimen

Who is this for? Cetaphil Advanced Defence AM Face Serum is formulated for people with sensitive or reactive skin who want a gentle, science‑driven morning serum that balances antioxidant protection, hydration, and pore‑refining benefits. It’s suitable for those seeking a lightweight, non‑irritating product to layer under sunscreen and makeup and for anyone looking to strengthen skin against everyday environmental stressors without fragrance or heavy oils.
